THE COGNITIVE APPROACH:
PIAGET:MODIFIED FOR PRE-PRIMARY
HEARING-IMPAIRED CHILDREN
1 -19-
PIAGET
The work of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget regarding the learning
processes of children is crucial to the education of all children,
regardless of handicap. Hearing impaired children particularly can
benefit from application of his work. Piaget's work with infants and
young children has consolidated previously fragmented pieces of information.
Other learning theorists assume that the child learns through his use
of language--that his verbal abilities help to formulate his thinking habits.
In a limited way, there is validity in that view. A child's verbal ability
reflects his verbal thinking patterns. As he learns new language, his
thinking becomes structured along those lines. But that viewpoint does not
adequately explain the spontaneity, creativity and productiveness of human
thought which is often expressed in non-verbal ways.
Templin (1966) and Furth (1970) have both conducted experiments and
studies of deaf and hearing children based on Piaget's stages of mental
growth. Piaget's basic hypotheris has been borne out. That is, intelligent,
reasoning behavior is not grounded in verbal ability alone. Rather, in-
telligence, in Piaget's terms, is a human heritage latent in all human
beings, and which unfolds in a natural sequence of structures dependent
upon interaction with the environment.
The first stage of intelligence is termed the sensory-motor stage
because the infant learns about the world through his own sensations and
movements. There are no words, no reflections, but a memory system is
begun; consequences of motor activities are retained, and the groundwork
is laid for the unfolding of later structures. The implication is that
children interp-et the world through their own concrete experiences--reflecting
their "ego-centrism." They learn verbal skills and may often be quite
sophisticated in their language. Their understanding is, nevertheless,
- 20 -
24
at a non-abstract stage, which may often confuse them. It also frustrates
adults, who respond to the words used and not to the conceptual level of the
child.
One way of discovering the conceptual level of the child is to apply
some of Furth's principles. Be says ".... parents and educators need not
frantically look for contrived situations or rewards that will make intelli-
gence grow. Intelligence grows from within. Thus the task becomes one of
furthering and nourishing this growth by providing.suitable opportunities,
not by explic4A te.ching of what to do or what to know." (P. 74)
There is a difference, a profound difference, according to Piaget,
between remembering and knowing. A child may remember a list of the
presidents, but he knows that a subclass is included in a superior class.
That is, apples are fruit--and he doesn't need to work at remembering that.
Once he knows it, it is his. Knowing, as Furth says, ".... is independent
of particular circumstances". (P. 75) It is the basis for the ability to
learn.
If intelligence develops through the child's functioning, why bother
to "teach"? The word teach here is critical. In a Piagetian approach,
teaching would mean providing an environment which would stimulate the
latent growth of the child.
A child does not develop under any and all circumstances--he must be
in a situation which presents to him challenge and motivation. A baby
learning to walk is a prime example. If the child has never been given
the opportunity to use his leg muscles or if that opportunity has been
very limited, his walking may be quite poor and delayed. But the baby
in a normal environment takes great joy in walking. Why? 1) There is
a physical "readiness" which impells him to use the now mature muslces.
2) There is the joy of mastery which provides the motivation. Otherwise,
- 21 -
how do we explain the child's persistance in the face of his first failures--
falling again and again. What adult would continue to try learning to walk
after falling every three steps?
Thus, the conditions for developing one's potential include the concept
of readiness, physical and mental. The other prerecuisite is the intrinsic
motivation, of the sheer joy of discovery and movement.
The purpotFe of the following thinking games is to exercise and challenge
the child's thinking processes. Child solutions are not merely verbal
labels, therefo e, the hearing impaired child can demonstrate some of his
reasoning abilities. The games also provide a tremendous opportunity to
involve the child in language and speech work. wihen the teacher knows
the exact level of the child, she is aware of what he does not understand,
where he needs help. Templin's deaf subjects took longer to develop Piaget's
stages than did the hearing subjects. They may also provide the teacher with
a new view of th:: child: that he is a reasoning being who has used his
environment to stimulate his growing intellect. Intelligibility of speech,
reading and math levels do not necessarily reflect the child's perception
of his environment. A hearing tmpaired child may have many concepts that
he cannot verbalize.
Learning tasks proposed by Piaget in the early childhood years are
accomplished through "playing" by the children.
A teacher can learn a great deal about the functioning of the child
by structuring same of the child's playing into Piaget "games".
As pointed out above, the beginning of intelligence lies in the realm
of sensory-motor interaction. The child grows and interprets incoming
information according to his own responses and egocentric preception. Some
of the tasks are classed under the heading of conservation.
Each ccmservation task has 3 levels. Stage I -- the child shows an
inability to focus on the concept, Stage II -- an inconsistent response
- 22 la;
but the beginning of understanding, Stage III -- attainment of the concept.
The following is a game of conservation of number for preschool children.
Take 5 pennies, chips, M & M's, etc., arrange them in a widely spaced
single row. A few inches away, take 6 of the same object and arrange them
in a closely space single row. It should look like this:
Count each row with the child, pointing to each chip as you count.
Then, depending upon the child's sophistication and depending on the child's
language comprehension level ask, "Which row (of pennies) will buy more
candy?" or "Which row would you like to eat (if M & M's)?" or simply,
"Which is more?"
Responses may fall into any stage. A stage I response would be choosing
the row of S. If this is given, ask why the child would respond as he did.
Check again, have the child count again, block his view of the rows and ask
which is more, 5 or 6. If the child doesn't know, discontinue and reduce
the number of objects in the rows to 3 and 2 and see if that can be
accomplished successfully. In other words, find out what the child's
conceptual level is for the task.
Stage II response: the child fluctuates, he recognizes that 6 is more
than 5, but he can't shake off the appearance of those rows; he's beginninv
to understand the conflicting situation.
Stage III response: the child acts as if the adult is pretty silly to
think he's be fooled and he responds correctly. Test his response by taking
the row of 6 and rearranging it into a circle.
o - 23 -o o o
0 0
Ask the sane questions. If the child hesitates, he has not jet fully
grasped the concept. But is he is still firm, so that no rearrangement affects
his answer, then the child has attained Stage III. Larger numbers of objects
may be used, as well, to see how firmly the principle is understood.
Another task is the conservation of subdtance. Show the child 2 clay
balls. Ther must be exactly the same -- weigh them, to show the child that
they are thesame. Then roll out one of the balls into a sausage. Ask the
child, "Is one heavier?" or "Do they still weigh the same?" or use some language
appropriate to the child, "Is one bigger, more, etc., than the other?" Arain,
responses will fall into 3 stages.
Stage I -- The child chooses according to his own perception -- whichever
appears bigger, heavier, etc. The child does not yet comprehend the meaning
of measurement, which is vital to completing several other Piaget tasks, for
example, the conservation of length, height, distance.
Stage II -- the child is still bound by his perception, but the task
represents a problem which challenges him.
Stage III -- check the response by repeating the conditions (2 balls)
and making one flat, instead of rolled up. If this is correctly answered,
again make 2 clay balls, weigh them, then try to remove some of the clay
from one ball as you change its shape and weigh them atain. The child will
see that the sausage weighs less now.
How can he explain it? If he is doubtful, then he has not fully attaihed
the concept. If he realizes a trick has been played, he understands.
Measurement of weight may be presented to the child by using Furth's (1964)
procedure. He used weights with the number of ounces written on them. They
were given to the children in pairs, some equal, some not. A scale should
be used to allow the child to match the pairs.
Another task appropriate for this age level, which falls generally
under the heading of onriservation, involves the use of classification.
How does a child make decisions about the kinds of things which "belong"
together.
Give the child a group of different objects, for example: some square,
some triangular, some rings, same 1/2 rings, some letters, some made of wood,
some made of plastic. Ask the child to "put things together that are alike."
There should be very little direction. Let the child work on his own. All
of the objects should be grouped in some way by the child.
The younger children often group accordinp to whim, or by the last
object they've handled. There are no "rules" r:overning their sorting. The
older children should have developed some system of rules which are either
observable or which they could explain.
The point of this "game" is not to teach the child "correct" ways of
classifying (there are several correct ways) but to disc-rer how the child
relates to his environment as shown by the classifications.
There are similar experimental games using relative size as a principle.
Nesting toys are good for this kind of game. Have the child arrange a set
of objects which are different sizes: dolls, balls, etc. Observe if he
can go from small to large, or if he groups by other criteria such as color
or shape.
Another conservation task which involves measurement is the conservation
of liouid. To experiment, use the following procedure.
Ecuipment: 2 containers for water--one tall and skinny, the other wide
and short. A measuring cup.
Fill the measuring cup with water in view of the child. Pour the water
into one glass. Refill the measuring cup, showing the child that it is the
same amount. Pour into the next glass. Ask the child to tell you if there
is the same amount of water in both glasses or if one has more. If the child
chooses one over the other, asky why. Again, responses may be at any of the
stage levels.
- ?5 29
Conservation of Length, is a more difficult problem for this age group,
but the youngsters enjoy this game. Use two dowel sticks or pipe cleaners.
Place them side by side to show the child that they are equal in length.
Then, allowing the child to see, push one stick forw -d. Ask if they are
still the same? Ask if one is longer? If the child says yes, point to the
space where the stick was pushed from and show what happened. Pepeat the
conditions.
A concrete experience which helps to illustrate the concept of relative
size is to have the child stand next to the teacher. Ask the child who is
taller (bigger). Have the child climb onto a chair. Now ask, "Are we the
same size?" Try to help the child understand that he did not "grow" but was
helped to become bigger. He's not really bigger than the teacher. Armin,
this is a difficult concept, not often attained by age 7.
Many of the everyday teaching activities in the classroom involve Piaget's
principles, particularly work with sequential activities, sets, and matching
games.
Another aspect of the classification games is that young children are
not able to pay attention to more than one identifying characteristic. The
child may have a good auditory and visual memory for the "big red car" and
point to the correct picture or object. But is he must classify objects into
groups, different principles apply. Some are big, some are red. The idea
of things being both big and red deve.lops later as the child can classify
according to two criteria at once.
Sequential Development of Rules: The infant as early perhaps as 10
months, involves "rituals" which foreshadow the beginning of the idea of
rules. Thfse rituals arise primarily through repetition of a behavior.
The child must have his blanket tucked in just so, because that's the way
it was done previously.
When a child first learns about games, there is no understanding what
- 26 -
a winner or a loser is, or of positions relative to another players' moves.
The child operates on an egocentric level. He wants to play like the older
children he's observed, but if there are rules to follow--he is not bound
by them.
Until about age 7, according to Piaget, the child is still incapalle of
taking an objective point of view, That is, he still cannot bend his actions
to conform with predetermined rules. Taking or accepting the point of view
of another person has implications beyond the activity of just learning
rules. These include social skills, reciprocity, mutual agreements, and
reasoning with other arguments that are presented in an exchange. Activities
should begin early in exposing tne pre-schoolers to these concepts.
Games can be played by a set of rules already existingthen have the
children make up their own games. How would they go about it? This may
involve the question of where rules come from. It should be pointed out to
the child, particularly in discipliring, how his actions affect others.
Role playing should involve acting out others' roles--those of parents,
teachers and friends, stressing the idea that the child be as like the other
as possible. Situations should vary so that "make-believe" can be realistically
played. For example: A role-play that should be realistic involves concepts
about time duration. If the situation is a bus ride to schoolh34f long
does it "really" take. How do people "really sit" on the bus--do they stare
straight ahead, bump, read? See Spelin for more ideas on this subject.
Point of view is also a physical phenomenon. Things l:ck different
from a distance or from an angle, above or below. Children should be encouraged
to look at objects tn their environment with new perspective. Present thines
to them drawn from bn unusual angle. Show slides and pictures of objects and
have children guess the perspective.
Show things out of focus and have the children guess what the object
- 27 -
32
might be. Also good for sequencing and memory tasks is to present a series
of flashes on the sCreen, displaying geometric shapes, familar things, etc.
Start out slowing, using two in the secuence, and have the child recall
the order. This activity should be used in auditory training also.
Another game involving both visual and auditory merory is a communica-
tion game. A "lazy susan" type cardboard circle has a series of picttres
aeound the edge, like circles with dots inside.
Two players hold the circle between them. Then the teacher covers the
circle with a screen--so that only one player can see. That player must
describe one of the pictures to the other player.
This game can be used on varied levels. The most basic approach
might be to set up the circle with 2 matching sides with 3 colored dots on
each side
Place 2 children on either side--place the screen in the* middle and have
one child describe a circle ("I see a red circle.") The other child must
find the match on his side.
The game can become more and more complex as the children become more
sophisticatedgoing from colors, to numbers, to letters to astract pictures.
Another game which is fun for the pre-schooler even though he doesn't
yet understand its principle is a probability game. Ten red and yellow
marbles are on a table. The teacher takes 8 red and 1 yellow marble and
puts it into a bag, shaking it viporously. Tho bag is handed around, and
each child has to guess the color of the marble he will pick from the bag.
After a marble is chosen--the color is written down and it is put back into
2 A
the bag. Many variations on this and the other games are possible. The
children themselves may develop new approaches.
An tmportant principle to remember about these games is that there is
no "correct" answer. How the children approach the problem--solvin-
situation will reveal more about Us thinking processes and abilities than
will one "correct" answer.'
The children should he encouraged to creatively participate in criticiEing,
changing and workinp around the "games".

EVANDING CONCEPTS THROUGH
SOCIAL SaIDIES AND SCIENCE
FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED PRVRIMARY CHILD
- 31 -
Some considerations regarding social studies and science:
Focus: "Learning by doing" is to be the basis for planning
experimental activities relating to social studies-science
units. These activities must involve each child and should
be planned to encompass other areas of the cirriculum when
appropriate.
The social studies-science units for each level will
give the teacher opportunities to develop in meaningful
context the vocabulary and many of the language principles
for each level. There will still be the need for a separate
language period to develop specific skills and principles.

Until recent years, teachers have focused on the "what" and the "hoTeofmathematics
and have relied chiefly on repetition in teaching computational
skills.
However, with the
advent of the "new" mathematics, greater stress is now
being given to the "why" and emphasis
is currently being placed on developing anunderstanding of the principles involved in
fundamental arithmetical operations.
It is in this area of mathematics that the primary
teacher has the greatest opportunity
to help the child begin to develop his powersof reason.
There are untold opportunities for
the discovery of relationships and for both inductive and
deductive reasoning.
This curriculum utilizes the logical structure of mathematics and
the discovery approach
to learning.
The child's natural curiousity is stimulated and guided towardmeaningfUl
learning.
The importance of patterns and relationships is stressed as the child moves
from
concrete experiences to abstract ideas as he applies these ideas in new
situations.
Point of 'new
Nursery and KindergartenMathematics Curriculum
The teacher of the youngest children mast begin the intuitive and logicalprocess of mathmatical
thinking by maintaining "child-centered" rather than "teacher-centered" activities.
The child must
be the active participant and "discoverer".
More specifically, the teacher should bear in mind that all concepts at thenurscry and kindergarten
sit:
levels are to be taught through the visual, manipulative approach usingmeaningftl, concrete experiences.
Experiences mast be designed to extend the child's understanding of the
concepts presented.
Therefore,
it is recommended that no text or formal written activities be used atthese levels unless the children
rki
exhibit a mastery of these concepts and a readiness for
a more formal approach.
8It is essential that receptive understanding be the goal of mathematics
experiences.

Point of View
Grade 11Mathematics Curriculum
Mathematical concepts at the grade 11level should be
presented through the visual,
manipulative, discovery approach
as they were at the nursery and kindergartenlevels.
Learning
should proceed from the concrete,
to the semi-concrete,
,o the
abstract level as the children exhibita mastery of the concepts
and a readiness for amore formal approach.
Experiences must be
designed to stimulate curiosity andto reinforce and extend
understanding of concepts presented.
Before the formal teaching ofa specific operation, the
foundation should be laid by
a rather intensive "introduction..
Review is necessary to evaluate thechild's mastery of the
concepts previously taught.
The spiral approachas used in
this mathematics curriculum
demands that the previauslylearned
concepts be repeated and builtupon and, therefore, learned in
greater depth and with greaterunderstanding eachyear.
It is essential that receptiveunderstanding be the goal
of mathematics experiences.
The teacher shoulduse precise,
4o
beki
erconsistent mathematical language with
the children with-the
hope-et instill#ng this terminology
in them.

Reference should be made to tbe Kindergarten and Grade 1
Teacher's Guide to Greater Cleveland Mathematics Program,
(SRA) as well as the Kindergarten Mathematics Curriculum
for Hearing Impaired as a guide in developing the concepts
and vocabulary for Grade 11.
The kindergarten level work-
book of the GCMP (SRA) Series should be completed by each
child during the first part of the year.
Upon completion
of this, the child then will use the portion of the GCMP
(SRA) Grade 1 workbook that is appropriate.
It should be
noted that same parts of GCMP Grade I are imappropriate
for Grade 11 and are, therefore, not included in the
curriculum for Grade 11.

Sets that do not match in number
are non-equivalent sets.
Quantitative relationships between
two sets can be discovered by visual
inspection.
Sets containing more than two objects
contain a subset.
Recognition of subsets help determine
by visual inspection the number of
objects in a set.
The joining of two sets result in a
new set whose objects are the total
of the objects in the two original sets.
The removing of one set from another

IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SPEECH
IN THE
HEARING IMPAIRED PREPRIMARY CHILD
Some Considerations Regarding
Speech Development
Focus: The normal hearing child develops speech in sequential stages of
growth. His speech development depends on what he hears and what
he absorbs from his environment. He learns to attach meaning to
all the sounds that he has internalized, including the inflectional
patterns of the human voice and human speech itself. The first
year of life for the hearing infant may well be called "the listening
year". It is after a long period of time that the hearing youngster
enters into the expressive aspects of speech.
The hearing impaired child's speech develops in sequential stages
also. By involving the child in a wide variety of rich and
stimulating experiences, the hearing impaired child prepares himself
to talk. This year for him becomes a year of absorbing language
concepts, developing specific auditory skills and readiness for
speech. It is not a time for precise articulation.
It should be noted that the teacher assesses the child's readiness
and growth for speech as an on-going aspect of her teaching. If
the teacher feels that an individaal child can proceed to formal
prodaction of phonemes, syllables, words, and sentences, she begins
formal work with him.
-239-

Developmental Scales of Speech and Language
in the Normal Hearing Child
Focus: These behavioral scales form the basis for the sequential stages
of speech and language acquisition in the hearing impaired child.
These scales give parents and teacheru some realistic expectation
levels for the hearing impaired child when we consider the child's
"hearing age". By "hearing age" we mean the length of time the
child has worn his aid as an effective source of stimulation for
perceiving sounds, acquiring speech, and acquiring language.

Dimensions of Speebh Development
for the Hearing Impaired Child
at the Preprimary Level
Focus: The teacher is the child's model. She must use appropriate language
structure and natural speech prodhction following good inflectional
contours so the child has a good model for imitation.
Prior to fbrmal speech training, the child should be involved in
a wide variety of pre-speech activities. These experiences are a
prerequisite for natural speech (marching, listening to a piano.,.playing in
beating a drum,/rhythm bands and blowing):
A. The teacher must remember all the components of speech--
intonation, accent, rhythm and quality as well as articulation.
All these aspects of speech should be developed through auditory
imitation first.
B. Imitation is the most important technique used for speech
teaching. The child should be encouraged to approximate in
speaking what he listens to.
C. The teacher is asked to be gentle and encouraging in making
corrections of a child's speech so that he maintains a desire to
communicate orally. She accepts approximations and rewards
them.
D. There should be group speeeh activities each day.
E. Each child should have a daily individual speech session.
F. Make maximum use of the child's personal hearing aid, especially
during indtvidual speech periods in order to develop good
listening skills.
oi
The Objectives for Speech Development
at the Nursery Level
1. lb develop a listening attitude on the part of the child.
This means alerting the child to certain relevant sounds
in his environment, to his own voice and other's voices,
and to human speech itself.
2. Tb prepare an environment where the child can add meaning
to the sounds he hears and learn the appropriate response
to them.
3. To encourage oral responses which link him to his activities.
4. Tb provide a natural, fluent model for speech which he can
learn to imitate.
250
Formal and Informal Speech Curriculum
Nursery Level
Focus: At the nursery level the emphasis is on the development of oral
language and encouraging talkativeness. Additional emphasis is
on language input to provide a foundation tor speech output. The
child is taught to identify relevant sounds in his environment,
to respond to other's voices and to become aware of his own voice.
Speech Curriculum
1. Speech is based on experiences at this level. The child is encouraged
to respond to his activities with oral language. His speech attempts
are praised and encouraged. The habit of using speech is instilled.
Parents are asked to respond with appropriate language as a part of
each experience they share with their child.
2. Speech patterns are given by the teacher when the child needs them.
He learns to imitate patterns he is unable to use naturally. Newly
learned speech patterns are expected to be used.
3. Speech is associated with the way it can affect behavior and with
how it expresses ideas and feelings. The child learns how to request
materials and how to relate his needs to the teacher. Once the vocabulary
is learned, the child is expected to use it.
4. Activities that are fUn for the child are included in speech develop-
ment whenever possible at the nursery level. Simple songs, nursery
rhymes, games and finger plays are good activities to develop speech.
Animal sounds can be identified and imitated.
The Objectives for Speech Developmbnt
at the Kindergarten Level
The major emphasis at the kindergarten level is the development of natural
speech and natural language. The child should be encouraged to initiate
speech and use it functionally. He should be encouraged to:
1. develop awareness of intonation, rhythm, accent and pitch
through auditory patterning, and attempt to imitate these
variations;
2. attempt some approximation of simple wore's, phrases, sentences
and common expressions;
3. develop some exact speech production in association with
formal teaching of certain phonemes through the Northampton
Chart, in the sequence suggested in the Formal Speech Curriculum;
4. strengthen self-confidence and encourage the child to express
his own personality by communicating his ideas orally.
The Objectives for Speech Development
at the 11 Preprimary Level
The development of good speech in the context of connected rhythmic language
is the primary objective at this level. The objectives:
1. To improve rhythm, pitch, inflection, accent and volume control.
2, To encourage clear expression of the vocabulary and language
developed at the nursery and kindergarten levels. Songs, poems,
and phymes suitable to interest of class should be taught.
3. To review the previous years chart work, primary spellings only.
To present secondary spellings of the Northampton Charts as they
are needed.
5. To develop recognition and production of all elements not taught
in Kindergarten in order to complete the consonants, except for
ch, Wig and j
6. To develop the recognition and production of all the vowel
sounds, primary spellings, not taught in Kindergarten.
7. To initiate on the initial consonant hp.- and 1-- combinations
and final -- 1 consonant combinations.
-248-
'253
1
Formal Speech Curriculum
Kindergarten/Grade 11
Focus: The common spellings of English words are grouped according to the
sound they represent. Once the hearing-impaired child is able
to learn the multiple spellings of a single sound, he is able to
unlock the pronounciation of unfamiliar words. He intuitively
forms rules of word attack and independent speech skills.
1. Curriculum Outline
The basic approach for the development of speech lies in the Northampton
Charts.
The order of presenting sounds to the young hearing-impaired child
depends on the child's needs and the ease with which he can imitate
and produce the simpler sounds.
By the end of level 11
, the child is responsible for producting and
recognizing all the elements on the consonant chart except ch, sh, and
j, and all the primary vowel spellings.
By the end of level 12 , the child is responsible for all the secondary
spellings on both the vowel and consonant charts.
2. Order of Presentation of Sounds on Northampton Charts
Those sounds that are simple to imitate and produce are presented first.
Once a sound is learned, it is immediately placed in a syllable or word
context.

3. Marking Words for Speech According to the Northampton Charts
a) Underline the letter in the word that is not phonetic.Sometimes, more than one letter nay be underlined, but only for the elementbeing taught.
e.g., bought
b) Write the correct sound for speech underneath or below theline.
e.g., bought
aw
c) All numbers go above the consonant or vowel they are specifying.
e.g., to'otht
d) Cross out silent letters with an I.
e.g., Nnife
e) Use this marking for long vowels,...,0(14.:,).
e.g., nap ce,f) Do not rewrite the entire word for speech work. This is ttse-
consuming and defeats the purpose of the charts.
Point out the secondary spellings and specifY by a number whenthis is applicable. Never rewrite in secondary spellings.
Ie.g., each (not ech) head (not bed) now (not nou)
h) Develop the chart one element at a time. Make many associattonsfor the primary and the secondary spellings befOre you
expect the child to know and distinguish them.
i) Use colors (blue for breath; red for voiced consonants and allthe vowels; brown for the nasal consonants) in early primarygrades but do not use colors beyond the 1-1 level. Colors shouldalso be used in speech drills at these early levels.

The Northampton Charts
I. How to Develop the Vowel Chart and the Consonant Chart
A. Give the auditory pattern of the sound alone with no visual or
tactile clues. Stimulate an awareness of the sound in a mean-
ingful way to the children.
B. Reinforce the sound with each child in individual speech period.
C. Present the written gymbol informally to the group and to each
child during individual speech period.
D. Put the written gymbol on a chart in front of the whole group.
Never pA the written syntol on the chart until the children
can produce the sound.
E. As the sound occurs in oral and written activities during the
day, review the gymbol by referring to it Al the chart.
II. Developing Sounds from the Phoneme to Longer Units
A. The readiness level of the child and his vocabulary needs determine
the timing for presenting new sounds.
B. When two elements have been learned (a vowel and a consonant), they
should be joined into a syllable?
Example: bod baw ba(r)
C. Once a gyllable is spoken with ease, a breath group of three like
syllables should be developed.
Example: fee fee fee
Then three unlike gyllables may be used.
Example: fee foo faw
D. Accee. is introduced at this time, using instruments for auditory
patterning.
Example: Beat out on the dram.Clap out rhythm. /
E. As soon as possible, the new sound should be put into words and
combined into a phrase or short sentence.-251-

Relaxation and Readiness Activities
Helpful for Speech
I. Relaxation and Breathing
Focus: It is essential that the child develop a relaxed and interested
0 control is fundamental to fluency in speaking. The following
are suggested activities.
A. Examples of relaxation exercises
1. Stretching.
2. Yawning.
3. Rag doll exercise. (Drop arms and relax entire body and roll
head all around.)
4. Arms raised--twist body.
5. Bending over relaxed--flopping arms from side to side.
6. Say p--five times on one breath.
7. Hum.
8. Whisper "up" several times (three up to as many as possible).
B. Examples of breathing exercises
1. Blow tissue paper across a table. (Mike it a game.) Run a
race of papers. Don't puff cheeks.
2. Blow out a candle. Blow a puff of air. Then blow a sustained
stream of air.
3. Blow ping pong up an inclindd board or in a specified direction
in a target game.
4. Breathe deep4 three times..
5, Sustain a vowel while slowly expelling breath.
II. Tongue and Lip Exercises
Focus: Tongue and lip control are necessary for precision in speech.
Exercises can be useful in gaining that control. The following
activities are suggested. -
-256-
.26,zSpeech Readiness Activities
1. Thrust the tongue far out quickly and draw back cuickly. Use a
mirror if nedessary. Make up combinations of this exercise for
rapid and slow changes of position.
2. Turn up point of tongue and apply it to different points on the
lips, teeth, and roof of mouth. (i.e., center of lip, teeth,
roof of mouth, cheek, gum)
3. Turn point down over lip or lower teeth as far as possible.
4. Flap the point as in saying "la la la la".
5. Position the point of the tongue behind the upper teeth. Open
and close the teeth while holding the tongue in that position.
6. Open the mouth, narrow the tongue and move it rapidly from side
to side.
7. With the mouth open, but not too wide, let the tongue lie soft and
flat in the mouth.
8. With mouth open about the width of two fingers, keep the tongue
flat and perfectly still. The test to ascertain whether the
tongue is lander complete control is to place it in any pocition
and hold it perfectly still.
9. Trill the lips using voice.
10. Trill the tongue.
11. Assume the lips positions, without exaggerating them, for the vowels
11 ft HRH ft tla(r) * oo aw ee .
III. Voice Development
Focus: Good voice control is essential for good speech intelligibility.
The child needs to utilize effective tactile and kinesthetic
cues in order to enhance his auditory monitoring system.
suggested activities are listed.
A. Voice Building Exercises
1. Babble (vary from high to low to medium pitches).-257-
oome
'263Speech Readiness Activities
2. Say du several times on one breath (work up from three to
twelve).
3. Say gu several times on one breath (work up to twelve, or as
many as possible).
L. Step up on a stool and say "high" with a high pitched voice.
(And step down and say "low" in a lower pitched voice.)
5. Sustain voice for suecessively longer intervals.
6. Stretch a rubber band and sustain "ee" (Compare the distance
stretched with each child's previous attempt.)
7. Match against a piano note for pitch, volume and length of tone.
B. ftercises for Developing Resonance
A few minutes dai4 is better for drills for oral and nasal
resonance than a longer period once or twice a week.
1. Oral resonance exercises.
Practice each consonant with the long vowels as:
bee
bee, bo
bee, bo, bo
bee, bo, bo, boo
2. ExerCises for nasal resonance.
a. Repeat a syllable three times
hum, hum, hum pam, pam, pam
hunt hun, hun pan, pan, pan
hung, hung, hung pang, pang, pang
b. Hum the sound of m---.
Keep the lips closed and let the vcdce vibrate all through
the head.
c. To open all resonance chambers in the head, practice the
syllable -- dum in breath groups.-258-
Speech Readiness Activities
3. Exercises for oral and nasal resonance.
a. Practice the syllable "hung" followed by vowels to use
contrasting movements. Tlis is a particularly good
exercise for lazy vellims and to modify a muffled voice
quality.
hung up
hung. . . . . on
hung. . . . Ln
hung. . 0 # all4
C. Voice Projection Exercises.
After the child can control the pitch, voicing and resonance to
some degree, voice projection needs to be developed. Short, daily
exercises can be used.
1. Expel all the breath in the lungs at once saying the following:
No! Hey! Look out I Go:
2. The child uses expressions as indicated in the vocabulary
guide in a moderately loud voice and within single breath
group.
3. Work for a light touch, demanding rapid but distinct speech
in the following:
Hip - hop
Pip - pop
Tip - top
Pop - corn
Rub - a - dub
Rub - a - dub
Bubble - babble - bubble

AUDITORY TRAINING
FOR THE PREPRIMARY HEARING INPAIRED CHILD
INTRODUCTION
The following material is adapted from Doreen Pollack's work,
Educational Audioloo, for the Limited atria& Infant, and forms the
basis for the auditory approach to language development in the
Minneapolis infant program. The exercises in the following section
were designed to begin with the child who needs to be taught an
awareness of sound. It is necessary to establish the child's ability
in relation to the sequence in order to develop the skills which the
child has not yet attainc4.
Many children in the nursery-kindergarten grades may still be
fUnctioning below the first basic level. These children require an
intensive program based on Pollack's sequential steps. The objectives
remain constant for the child's auditory needs. The activities,
however, must he expanded in order to continually motivate and encourage
the child to develop his listening skills as he moves from one auditory
level of achievement to the next.

AUDITORY TRAINING
Auditiea is a word, an attitude, an atmospher0 and a process of listening
purposefully in communication with others through conversation.
Goal: The sense of hearing integrated into every aspect of the child's
total personality development and his interpersonal relationships. The
use ofsoun0 for c.uupication.This primary.goa .is not 4tainable by all children. Each teacher must
be Awute of the individual limitations.and strengths of each child to helpeach of them develop to his own potential.pbdectivest Teacher
1. An attitude of natural interest, caring and playfulness.
2. An individually prescriptive program for each child in the develop-ment of initial auditory skills, moving sequently and freelj frombabbling and voice games to words and sentences.
3. Activities appropriate to the child's age, developmental andinterest level and thus meaningful to him, for encouragement oflong-term memory.
4. The guidance of a parent to apply and reinforce appropriatelistening behaviors and skills at home.
Otdectives,: Parent
1. Ability to capitalize on environmental sounds of potentialinterest to the child, calling his attention to them andutilizing natural conversation connected with his experiencesto develop a listening function.
2. Ability to report the evidence of listening behavior and responseto sound by a child in his home and neighborhood.
91:dectives: Child
1. Development of an auditory feedback mechanism so that the childrecognizes the sounds he makes and that are made by others:individuals and objects.
2. Ability to monitor his own voice in terms of pitch, duration,
intensity, intonation patterns.
3. Development of hearing perception, through the following sequencet/

A. Awareness of loud and quiet sounds.
B. Learning to attend, or listen to a variety of sounds.
C. Localising the source of these sounds (associating objectwith sound)
D. Recognising these sounds (i.e. knowing the ingWa of them).
E. Reacting appropriately to then.
F. Imitating or using them.
lastea Et Iv
Prior to any auditory training, two couditions must obtains
1. The child must show some awareness, a look or a verbal responseto sound, including conversation.
2. The child must give evidence of searching for a sound, not truelocalisation but turning and seeming to wonder "what is that?"If he does not, it is a diagnostic warning signal.
3. Diagnostic observation: if the child is intact auditoriallybut delayed in motor development, keep this im mind. Systematicinformal teacher analysis of the child's developmental levels:motoric, intellectual, social, physical determines the objectivesand expectations for each child.

meaning -- footsteps, music, rattle, bottle, doorbell, etc., and this
auditory experience seems to prepare the child for spoken language, in
terms of its having auditnry meaning to nim.
Depending upon the developmental level of tha child when he is fitted
with one or two hearing aids, the following activities are samples of
appropriate beginnings for auditory training and should be repeated
and reinforced.
1. R-,fle)Ave levl - physiological level of awareness.
Activities:
A. Normal human voice (all around the child)
1. talking 3. cooing
2. singing 4. calling
5. playing games(pat-a-cake, peek-a-boo, etc.)
B. Noisemakers
1. crib toys
2. horns
3. bells
4. musical instruments
5. music boxis
6. push-pull toys
7. container (can) of things that rattle
C. Environmental and gross sounds
1. electrical appliances
2. alarm clocks
3, stove timers
4. door bell
5. slamming doors
6. telephone
7. motorczrcles
8. running water
9. flushing toilet
-265-; ,270
10. television
11. radios
12. barking dogs
2. Attending to sound
The child is aware there is a sound outside of himself but he may not
know its identity or source.
Activities:
At this point activities revolve around helping the child identify
the sound and sound source imeledigtely.
A. Hide noisemakers in a box (horn, bell, musical instrument).The teadher, parent or animal puppet makes appropriate sound.
41, Child ic encouraged to imitate activity.
B. Knocking on door$ Teacher or parent plays game with child knocking on and
answering door with appropriate language.
C. Answering telephoneStage telephone call from friend having child close by phone.When mother sees child's awareness of ring, she says, "I hearsomething." "The telephone is ringing." rEkyoh..hista"it?""Let's answer it." "SaY, 11101101"
Similar types of activities can be used to identify all grosssounds whia are part of the child's familiar enviraquent.
3. Orienting or localising
The preceding activities can also be used to encourage and teach the
child to localise the source of sound.
4. Associating sounds with meaning.Child needs to learn that sounds have meaning.
A. Ehvironment
H. begins to associate mother's voice with mother and certainenvironmental sounds with their sources.
1. rattle of pots and pans means that mother is wastingdishes
2. running water means it's time for a bath
3. power mower means Daddy is cutting the grass
.266.271 ..
MOW
B. Child's own voice
He needs to learn that he can use his own voice to manipulatehis environment, to create change to satisfy himself andothers.
C. Inflections
Eventually the child will be able to discriminate th,) meaningof inflectional patterns -- joy, anger, questions.
5. Distance Hearing
Parent or teacher should bugin to increasll distance between childand sound source.
Activities:
A. Mother calling child from increasing distances.
B. Play game "Hide and Seek".
C. Marching to drum (or other musical instrument), stopping onabsence of sound.
D. Alarm clock hiding preset alarm clock -- looking forsource of ring when it sounds
6. Auditory Feedback
Imitative vocal play and babbling. This includes child recognizingsound he makes and monitoring his own voice volume, duration andpitch.
Activities:
A. Pretending to be animals (woof, woof, for dog).
B. Mother says "Uks, up, up." Chill imitates rising inflection.
C. Child tries to sing.
D. Child tries to whisper.
7. Discrimination and recognition
As child learns to discriminate and recognize sound he is alsotaught the proper response (activity).
Activities:
A. If child hears a dog barking outside the door he will lethim in.
B. If he hears mother calling he turns around or runs to her.
C. The child, when exposed to sound of three instruments behindhis back can select the one making the sound and reproduce it.
8. Soholalia and imitation (a pre-symbolic state of imitating orrepeating, generally without comprehension.)
This is an important step in auditory training and should beencouraged.
A. Imitative vocal play (repeating without meaning)
1. vowels2. airplane noise3. nonsense sounds
B. Sequence
1. vocal ploy2. babbling3. vowels4. consonants
5. multi-syllables6. words7. Mort sentences
Activitiess
Teacher or child, when engaged in activities suoh as pouring,sets a pattern and encourages child to imitate ("pour, pour, pour").
Pattern for Adults speak....pause....wait for child's response
(Pysical)....react (speak again).
Nbtes imitation refers to total activity, not just sounds.
Ekamples jumping rope at the time am adult was, "jump, jump,jump" with varied inflection.
9. Symbolic language
There is a sequence to the learning of symbolic language.
A. FUnctional words
1. "bye, bye"2. "nom3. "come"4. "up, up"5. "more"6. "all gone"
B. Adjectives

Nursery Newsletter
Dear Parents,
October 28, 1970
This has been a busy week of Halloween preparations. Jack-o-lantern pictures are on our bulletin board and black cat cut-outs areon our windows.
Today the children helped draw eyes, nose, mouth and ears on ourpumpkin. Then we cut them out. The children helped scoop out theseeds. They felt that the seeds were wet and slippery. My note toyou yesterday told you of our paper pumpkin hunt. We will repeatthat tomorrow. Today we played a matching gene using jack-o-lanternswith various expressions.
We have made a point of learning that the large orange vegetableis a ;pumpkin. When we carve a face an it, it becomes a iackmemlantern.This festive day gives us words which will be used many times inpumpkin carving or dramatic experiestces during "trick or treating"t
We use our Halloween finger plays each day. Their words, which Isent home earlier this week, should be kept in a handy place whilelearning them and then the sheet should be placed in your noto-bodk forfuture reference.
We would appreciate the milk mousy far November sent on Monday withthe child's name and amount on the envelope. The amount is $.60. It is
Billy's turn to bring cookies or crackers for snack,
Is your child missing a red sweater? The bus driver brought asmall one in with no name tag.

Books and the Library
Books should be an important part of any child's life. For a
deaf child they should be "special". They can be a wealth of
knowledge, a source of relaxation, and kind friends in lonely moments.
Very early in life a child should be tanght the care and use of
books and helped to enjoy the words and pictures between their covers.
When a new book is presented to a small child it should be done in a
relaxed, warm manner with mother (or daddy) showing the child each
page with interest and enthusiasm. Books the child owns should be
chosen with care with special attention to clear, colorful, meaningful
pictures which are not too detailed.
It is safe to say that everyone has a library in his community.
For this reason no teacher can claim she lacks books for her class to
enjoy. A large number can be taken out at a time on a monthly basis
so many stories and subjects can be covered regularly.
Preschool children should learn the use of the library very early
to formulate a good habit for regular visits in the future. They can
learn the section where their books are found, choose a book, check it
out and have mother note on the calendar the day it is to be returned.
This will not only increase their sense of responsibility but help
them to look forward to the trip to the library as an enjoyable, re-
warding experience.

ringer Plays
The following finger plays have been enjoyed by hearing impaired
classes. The repetition of words and choice of subject content give
the children an opportunity for meaniagfUl dramatisation.
Explicit directions for placement of hands and flaws are left
to the discretion of the teacher. It is nest helpful to use props or
pictures when introducing a new finger play. These should be elimi-
nated after the finger play has been said a few times.
Suggestion:
2SE Balls
Here's a ball. (hands form small ball)
Here's a ball. (hands form middle-sised ball)
I see a great big ball. (hands and arms form large ball)
Shall we count them?
Are you ready?
Oaw, two, three. (fingers stand up one, then two, then three)
To encourage vocalisation it is often helpful to have two or three
children "perform" a familiar finger play before the group. When
language ability is strong children enjoy taking turns leading the
finger play.

Open, shut them, open, shut them,
Give a little clap.
Open, shut them, open, shut them,
Lay them in your lap.
Creep them, creep them, right up to
your chin.
Open wide your little mouth but do
not let then in.
Open, shut them, open, shut them,
To your shoulders let them fly,
Let them like the little birdies
flutter to the sky.
Falling, falling, falling, falling
almost to the ground.
Quickly raising all your fingers
Swirl them round and round - faster - slowly.
Ten Little Fingers
I have ten little fingers
And they belong to me.

I can fold them so quietly,
And hold then here just so.
